Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vivimos en las ruinas de los relatos emancipatorios del pasado y comenzamos a movernos entre los temores y los nuevos sueños que la transformación digital nos trae dentro de un ciclo de expansión de la desigualdad, cada vez mayor y más estructural. Ante dicho escenario, irrumpen en nuestras vidas la inteligencia artificial y el internet de las cosas, los datos, la robótica y las posibilidades del aprendizaje profundo, confluyendo todas estas tecnologías a la vez y mostrándonos, quizás, un camino de esperanza. Un marco de oportunidad que puede ser único y que, si somos inteligentes, lo podemos plantear a la medida de las necesidades de los seres humanos. En este libro evidenciamos la necesidad de la ética como el elemento básico para que así sea. Eso sí, que el uso sea ético no depende de la tecnología sino, como siempre, del uso que hagamos de ella

Download or read book Latin American Digital Poetics written by Scott Weintraub and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latin American Digital Poetics seeks to take the pulse of emergent poetic forms whose history is entangled with the computational and its AI dreams and achievements. This study carefully and thoroughly probes the intersection between the literary, the cultural, and the scientific-technological in order to reflect on the ways that digital technology has radically reshaped and reconfigured nearly all aspects of contemporary culture. The main idea of this book, then, is simple: by way of panoramic approaches to digital poetry as well as select case studies, we seek to account for the multi-directional exchange between poetry, technology, and culture via a (primarily) pedagogical approach.

Download or read book Publicidad contagiosa written by Silvia Sivera and published by Editorial UOC. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El marketing viral se inoculó en el panorama profesional publicitario como una vacuna eficazy económica contra la supuesta inmunidad de las audiencias a los mensajes comerciales. Conseguir que fueran los consumidores quienes transmitieran los anuncios espontáneamente entre sus redes sociales se consideró la panacea en un mercado comunicativo sobresaturado. Sin embargo, la publicidad boca a oreja, basada en recomendaciones, ya conseguía el mismo objetivo desde tiempos ancestrales. Fueron las tecnologías de la información y de la comunicación (TIC) las que posibilitaron el salto exponencial hacia la publicidad viral y, en consecuencia, un cambio de magnitudes sin precedentes: los contenidos comerciales pasaban a ser compartibles a escala planetaria, a la velocidad de un clic.Este libro se centra en detectar las claves creativas comunes que detonaron el contagio de 651 vídeos publicitarios entre los usuarios de las redes sociales digitales.A partir de un constructo analítico formado por drivers creativos, cepas virales y la variable ambigüedad, se propone la fórmula V = cc (d+c) + a, como base inspiradora para crear publicidad altamente contagiosa.

Download or read book Encounters and Engagements between Economic and Cultural Geography written by Barney Warf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-04-02 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intellectual renaissance of human geography has included a widespread engagement between its economic and cultural subdisciplines. This volume adopts a variety of conceptual and empirical perspectives on the encounters between economic and cultural geographers. It offers an introduction and 10 chapters by authors in a variety of national contexts to explicate issues such as the cultural turn in economic geography, the cultural construction of economic geographic thought, consumption, gender, everyday life, commodity chain analysis, trust, networks, the creative economy, and tourism. The volume contains empirical analyses utilizing both quantitative and qualitative approaches at spatial scales ranging from the individual to the global economy. In illustrating how human geographers can ill afford to subscribe to the analytically false dichotomy between “culture” and “the economy,” the book explicates how cultural and economic geography can be seamlessly integrated , bringing them into a creative tension to their mutual benefit.​

Download or read book Theorizing Digital Divides written by Massimo Ragnedda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although discussion of the digital divide is a relatively new phenomenon, social inequality is a deeply entrenched part of our current social world and is now reproduced in the digital sphere. Such inequalities have been described in multiple traditions of social thought and theoretical approaches. To move forward to a greater understanding of the nuanced dynamics of digital inequality, we need the theoretical lenses to interpret the meaning of what has been observed as digital inequality. This volume examines and explains the phenomenon of digital divides and digital inequalities from a theoretical perspective. Indeed, with there being a limited amount of theoretical research on the digital divide so far, Theorizing Digital Divides seeks to collect and analyse different perspectives and theoretical approaches in analysing digital inequalities, and thus propose a nuanced approach to study the digital divide. Exploring theories from diverse perspectives within the social sciences whilst presenting clear examples of how each theory is applied in digital divide research, this book will appeal to scholars and undergraduate and postgraduate students interested in sociology of inequality, digital culture, Internet studies, mass communication, social theory, sociology, and media studies.

Download or read book The Routledge Handbook of Political Communication in Ibero America written by Andreu Casero-Ripollés and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-10-31 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Routledge Handbook of Political Communication in Ibero-America addresses the relationship between communication, politics, and digital technologies in Latin American and the Iberian Peninsula, a geographical space linked by social, cultural, and linguistic aspects. In recent years, digital media have been central in the dialogue established by political parties, institutions, the media, and citizens. In this hybrid space emerged certain phenomena that are of interest, particularly in the Ibero-American landscape, including disinformation and fake news, protests on social media, the organization of social movements, the relationship between the press and the state, political participation, populism, the role played by emotions and memes, the impact of AI and platformization on politics, and topics of debate in the public sphere. This Handbook is structured into nine parts, beginning with a historical contextualization and then exploring central aspects of the discipline. It then goes on to study trends at the regional level, increasing knowledge about how political communication and digital technologies are changing multiple aspects of Ibero-American societies, where political communication plays a fundamental role – especially in electoral processes, with its consequent effects on democracy. This Handbook will be of interest to academics, students, and professionals in the fields of political science, communication, journalism, advertising, marketing, and sociology, as well as public opinion consulting. It will be of particular interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students from Latin America, Portugal, and Spain.

Download or read book Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art written by Joanna Page and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2021-04-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Projects that bring the ‘hard’ sciences into art are increasingly being exhibited in galleries and museums across the world. In a surge of publications on the subject, few focus on regions beyond Europe and the Anglophone world. Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art assembles a new corpus of art-science projects by Latin American artists, ranging from big-budget collaborations with NASA and MIT to homegrown experiments in artists’ kitchens. While they draw on recent scientific research, these art projects also ‘decolonize’ science. If increasing knowledge of the natural world has often gone hand-in-hand with our objectification and exploitation of it, the artists studied here emphasize the subjectivity and intelligence of other species, staging new forms of collaboration and co-creativity beyond the human. They design technologies that work with organic processes to promote the health of ecosystems, and seek alternatives to the logics of extractivism and monoculture farming that have caused extensive ecological damage in Latin America. They develop do-it-yourself, open-source, commons-based practices for sharing creative and intellectual property. They establish critical dialogues between Western science and indigenous thought, reconnecting a disembedded, abstracted form of knowledge with the cultural, social, spiritual, and ethical spheres of experience from which it has often been excluded. Decolonizing Science in Latin American Art interrogates how artistic practices may communicate, extend, supplement, and challenge scientific ideas. At the same time, it explores broader questions in the field of art, including the relationship between knowledge, care, and curation; nonhuman agency; art and utility; and changing approaches to participation. It also highlights important contributions by Latin American thinkers to themes of global significance, including the Anthropocene, climate change and environmental justice.

Download or read book Wilbur Schramm and Noam Chomsky Meet Harold Innis written by Robert E. Babe and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2015-04-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilbur Schramm and Noam Chomsky Meet Harold Innis is an original, critical, in-depth analysis of the media and communication thought of Canada’s most highly acclaimed scholar, Harold Adams Innis. Even in Canada, however, Innis’s writings until now have been only partially cited and interpreted: Innis is usually stereotyped as being merely an economic historian fixated on previous civilizations, whereas in fact he was an astute analyst whose main concerns were with present problems and future trajectories. In the United States, meanwhile, Innis’s media and communication writings have been quite neglected and even denigrated. Drawing on Innis’s less frequently cited work, including his long neglected Political Economy in the Modern State, Robert Babe opens up Innis’s media scholarship as a whole,unfolding it in startling critical, yet ultimately appreciative ways. By comparing Innis’s media scholarship with Wilbur Schramm's and Noam Chomsky's, moreover, Babe tests the claims, positions, and modes of analysis not only of Innis, but also of the other two celebrated scholars as well, casting new light on their works and allowing the reader to imagine what sort of discourses might have been possible had the three been in conversation together. Wilbur Schramm and Noam Chomsky Meet Harold Innis provides comparative insight into foundational media scholarship in the United States and Canada, and explores in some detail the relevance of Innis for twenty-first century digitized society.

Download or read book Hyperbolic Realism written by Samir Sellami and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What comes after postmodernism in literature? Hyperbolic Realism engages the contradiction that while it remains impossible to present a full picture of the world, assessing reality from a planetary perspective is now more than ever an ethical obligation for contemporary literature. The book thus examines the hyperbolic forms and features of Thomas Pynchon's Against the Day and Roberto Bolaño's 2666 – their discursive and material abundance, excessive fictionality, close intertwining of fantastic and historical genres, narrative doubt and spiraling uncertainty – which are deployed not as an escape from, but a plunge into reality. Faced with a reality in a permanent state of exception, Pynchon and Bolaño react to the excesses and distortions of the modern age with a new poetic and aesthetic paradigm that rejects both the naive illusion of a return to the real and the self-enclosed artificiality of classical postmodern writing: hyperbolic realism.

This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many areas of knowledge converge in the building industry and therefore research in this field necessarily involves an interdisciplinary approach. Effective research requires strong relation between a broad variety of scientific and technological domains and more conventional construction or craft processes, while also considering advanced management processes, where all the main actors permanently interact. This publication takes an interdisciplinary approach grouping various studies on the building industry chosen from among the works presented for the 2nd International Conference on Construction and Building Research. The papers examine aspects of materials and building systems; construction technology; energy and sustainability; construction management; heritage, refurbishment and conservation. The information contained within these pages may be of interest to researchers and practitioners in construction and building activities from the academic sphere, as well as public and private sectors.
